Our mission

Games that feel like a warm, misty morning in the conservatory.

Founded in 2018 above a Lygon Street cafe, PixelQuestFrontier makes unhurried adventures for people who love slow discovery. No loot boxes, no burnout — just handmade worlds, honest co-op, and a community we actually know by name. Every release starts as a seedling at our Tuesday playtest nights.

"Greenhaven Quest got my partner and me through a Melbourne winter. We finished the ruins on a rainy Sunday and genuinely teared up at the ending."

★★★★★
"The Tuesday playtests are the highlight of my week. The team actually listens — a bug I flagged in April was fixed by the next build."
DRDaniel R.Carlton, VIC · May 2025
★★★★★
"I took the Frontier Workshop with zero art skills and left with my own little animated sprite. Eight people, two hours, completely worth the $45."
